Strictly 2023 Discussion Thread. Saturday 25th November.
 

Please discuss the nights events here.....

Layton wasn't as good tonight. Could a shock be on the cards?

They're all good at this stage. Anyone could go.

It was a cute and ful of content routine but that song ugh.

Did like the hush to Craig.

Yes, the structure of the points could endanger any not in the top 2 or 3 with the judges.

That was an awesome performance for Nigel and Katya. Fabulous.

It was really good.

What does Shirley mean by very well.

Underscored again

What???
8s

I thought 9s

Ballas Talks some tripe .

Acclaiming they did a really hard element then only gave 8.

Best rumba I've seen so far. Underscored.

Are they trying to get him out or what? Pffft.

That wasn't bad. Well done Annabel.

Somehow I'm not keen on this Paso.
Not dramatic enough for me.

Nigel is the best so far tonight. I don't give a fig what the judges say.

Not worth 36.
It was to me just a more routine type dance, not a performance of a Paso.
Sorry Annabel.

Please Dave Arch don't ruin this song.

It was okay.

That was great!

Massively overscored. Nigel deserved all 9s. No mistakes and beautiful storytelling.

Annabel and Layton bottom 2 imo.

Very touching.
Liked that.

wow they threw Angela under the bus there, thought she was great

I know it meant a lot but it didn't appeal to me.

I had no idea what they were trying to convey storywise?

I hate the song tbf so that didn't help.

Come on Ellie really smash this one too.

Don't like this song however.

Annabel best so far for me

Same here Joey. I can't warm to a performance as much if I hate the music. It was alright.

It was a great routine.
The song seemed out of place all through.

OMG Ellie brilliant

Ellie my favourite of the night.

I can't believe that Anton gave Annabel a 10:joker:

According to Entertainment Weekly's poll (I think it was) this is the results from their poll for this week.

Nigel 27%
Annabel 21%
Ellie 17%
Angela S 12%
Bobby 10%
Layton 10% (but slightly fewer votes than Bobby)

So basically the leaderboard is basically throwing Angela S to the wolves according to this particular poll, and they are normally fairly accurate.

Ellie was a clear 40!!!! Also Bobbys performance was so beautiful. Annabel is getting just better and better.

Bobby overscored to keep him out of the dance off this week so predictable


Layton danced way better than him (an actual dance compared to boring couples choice)


Nigel again undermarked as hell :bawling: i thought that rumba was superb

Shirley's crying after Bobby's CC was literally pathetic :laugh3: :laugh3:

Surely not dirty dancing one again for musicals week. There are hundreds of other musicals

so what, i see it now more as an extra week for Bobby, and tbh if it is his last hurrah on the show, what better way to go out with such an iconic dance and lift

at least he had his couples choice moment of magic now



and if he goes out now, only one week we won't see him, because we see all eliminated acts in the final too, in their group dance (already excited for that seeing my sweeties Jody, Krishnan again, and hopefully Amanda will also do that just to end her strictly journey on a more positive note, with a bit of her foxtrot maybe, i already know La Rippon will showcase her sexy legs again, but which one, her rumba or argentine tango or her murder she wrote charleston bit)

Omg again? Can't they use some different musicals?
I would love something old school like Guys and Dolls. Or Cabaret.
